The 8mm LEE 175gr. 324 I have, has over sized shanks. I chamfer the base with the NOE base tool, anneal the Gator Checks, but still a chore to install checks.
I have the NOE GC expander, bit is painfully slow. 3-4 checks per minute tops. To prep size and lube 8mm boolits to have a decent supply,
is serious work.
The GC Shank measures .308+, way to big for easy application of shanks.
If anyone has a faster, easier way to apply GC's, I'm all ears.
